Emotional Roller-coaster Drama
Story:
This drama remind me of old J-drama which emphasize emotion more than anything. They usually make it so natural and realistic because it is slice of life. The story is actually simple, with many PoV and arcs, which in the end, they are stitched together. Because it is a medical drama, it has deep relation with life and death. And another factor that makes this drama more grounded is the setting, which take place in second tier hospital (most patients are from lower class economic). Nowadays, all country in the world faced economic problem, hence this drama feel more relateable to our recent life condition.
Acting:
All actors did good job in acting. Xiao Zhan with his natural look really brought up his character as depressed genius doctor. What I didn't expect is his character in this drama really different with his previous drama. My impression from Xiao Zhan previous characters is warm with confidence, likeable characters. Although they faced hard times, they still can get over it. However, in this drama Liu Zhengliang has many flaws. Though he is genius, he is not likeable, he is cold, denial and sharp-tongued. I actually like Nie Dahong's character, which is the only one who can tamed Liu Zhengliang. He is very hilarious, unpredictable but have big heart toward his hospital patients. As for the romance, though it is not the main focus of this drama, it is heart-warming. I don't really like Jiang Yan's character, but after knowing her background story, I empathize with her character and beginning to understand why she behave like that.
Music:
The OSTs are very memorable, and the one Xiao Zhan sang is uplifting.
Overall:
The one point which is dragged this drama down in my rating, is the ending. It is mostly considered open ending. And I'm not satisfied with that.
